I got along with the HW and pre-installation issues = easily, the disk space is allocated, I know what to install. But I can't connect for download. = I'd like to ask for your help. On this handbook page http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-media.h= tml I arrive at figure Figure 2-27. Set Network Configuration for ed0. See = page http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-post.ht= ml I don't know what to put in "host", "domain", "IPv4 gateway" and "domain = server". My ISP is German Telekom. I'm using a CompuShack gateway/4-port switch Connecting to my 3-COMs RJ45 jack My computer is 192.168.0.4 The local gateway is 192.168.0.1 The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 The gateway's internet address changes as it is assigned when = connecting. Who's host name has to be used ? I'm logging into Telekom as xxxxxxxxxxx@t-online.de . Is "t-online.de" = the required domain ? The installation probes IP numbers like 217.237.151.142 for the name = server. Is that what's needed ? I would very much appreciate your help. I also won't need more help :-) Regards, Manfred
